I have some seeds if you'd like some!! Just DMail me with your address. I just whacked it all down (almost) yesterday as I was cleaning the bed out. It drops seed pods like crazy! Each flower makes 5 seeds. The flowers only last for one day, and they open in the morning and close later in the day. This one gets early morning shade, but spends most of the day in the full hot sun. During dry weather, it does wilt a bit, but always perks back up in the late evening.

Here's a close-up of the flower as a teaser!
